My, how those Georgia Techs can play football!
At the time it seemed a very good idea. I mean this
picking Georgia to play Tech an even game, And, there
are a few guys around that insist that the Bulldogs did
snap pretty close on the Yellow Jackets wings.
That limb broke with your old pardner last Sat
urday. Tech had the best team. They won. We lost.
Now that all the smoke has cleared and all the red j
chip, ca? sr ed in w rD can really talk this thing over. Tech
was su o rD 1927. It was never pointed
out here* that Georgia had the best team. There was just
a hunch that Georgia would up-set the dope. They didn’t.
Several have asked just how one might go about
covering up such a splutter as carried in this column
last week. To this I might pass it on—just how
would one cover it up?
It has been brought to my attention by several that
Georgia played dirty football against Tech. The fellows
want to know if this column will mention the fact.
I didn’t see the game. Tech rooters say Georgia
played dirty football and Georgia supporters deny it.
This is common gossip in a big rival game and this
coiner has decided to let it go as such.
After all is said and done I still say that had the pass
down on the 17-yard game early in the first quarter
clicked it would have been a different game altogether.
It would have given Georgia the lead early in the game
and Tech would have been forced to play more recklessly.
And when football, as it is played today, gets reckless
anything can happen.
HELP THE LEGION
Softball fans in Covington who want the game played
under flood lights here next year should co-operate with
the local post of the American Legion. The Legion is in
behind night softball but they first must have co-opera
tion of the citizens before they can get anywhere with
their plans.
Covington citizens who hold title claim* on the
Fair Ground property should notify the local Legion j
Commander, Moody Summers. He, and other mem
bers of the post, are trying to clear up the title on
the property before going ahead with the building
program that is planned.
If a clear title can be obtained on the Fair Ground
property the Legion is planning grading down the grounds
and h’-ilding play grounds for the children of Covington
and lighting one softball field to be used by teams in the
Covington softball league.
Every city the size Covington has night , soft
or
ball and we are entitled to have it here. It is, I think
the right step to take. The Legion deserves the full
co-operation of every citizen in helping to secure a
titlf*
It is a certain fact that softball will die a natural
death in Covington if handled in the order of this year.
Fans want to see the game but just haven’t the time every
day around five o’clock to attend. Night softball is the
ticket. Let’s have it, Covtatfon ! i

mighty and well prepared teams The

very fine, hard-fighting spirit.
Ruby Ellis led the attack with a
total of 21 points to her record. Clara
Butler followed a close second with

on by the strain of competition.

The most significant thing about
Patty Berg’s rise to the dominating
spot in women’s golf is the fact
that she didn’t start playing until
1932 and then she only knocked a
ball around the course a half a
dozen times. Her father was the
first in the family to get interested
in golf and when he bought a fam
ily membership in the club that
year he hoped that Herman, Jr.
would become interested enough to
take up the game and give his
father a golfing companion. Event

one in county of Georgia we have a
gully' so large that it is known as
the Grand Canyon of Georgia.
Did you know that in our own coun
ty there are gullies so large that you
could put a two-story house In then
and then have to have a step lad
der to get from the top of the house
to the rim of the gully? Did you
know that In a creek no so far away
that the fence that was once on the
bank of the creek is now fourteen
feet below the edge of the creek, the
water has carried so much of the
land towards lower country?
Did you know that if you do not
protect and hold your top soil from
washing away that one good hard
rain will wash more away than you
can build in two or three years’
time?
Do you know what and how to do
it? There are U. S Government bul
letins telling and showing how this
is done. The Ranger will also help
you If you will ask him. Get in touch
with this Soil Erosion program.
Did you know that almost every
bird that we have is a help and ben
efit to mankind? Christmas will
soon be here and there are many
boys that will receive air-rifles and
.22 caliber rifles for Christmas and
they will go out and kill every bird
that they see regardless of what
sort and how much good they will
do. Birds feed on insects to a great
degree and every insect that is harm
ful to man Is a food to some bird.
Let's find out what are harmful
birds and what are a benefit before
we let our boys have guns and try
to explain to the boys what to shoot
and what not shoot. A little talk to
them will help a lot
Did you know that a 22 caliber
rifle is very dangerous and Is dead

The Royal Crown
Teams Win Twice
From Milsteaders
Manager Trying to Secure
Game with Buford’s
Fast Five.
BY J. HOPE BRANHAM
Royal Crown’s boys and girls bas
ketball teams defeated Milstead last
Friday night at Milstead in a dou
ble-header. The girls won, 37-6 and
the boys chalked up a 40-27 victory.
The Oxford girls have played good
ball since the teams were organized
I some weeks back and by the end of
the season should be winning lots
of games
Hood and Gardner led the scoring
at Milstead Friday night. These two
forwards accounted for 30 of the 37
points scored by the visitors.
Every player on the boys’ team
scored at least two points for Roj’ai
Crown In their easy 40-27 triumph.
| Howard Cook's 10 points was high
for Royal Crown.
The manager of the Royal Crown
teams are trying to secure a game
with the fast Buford teams, Efforts
are being made to schedule a game
to be played at Oxford. Buford has
a high-scoring team and local fans
will have a chance to view a really
good quintet if games are arranged
with Buford.
Royal Crown defeated the Hamp
ton quintet last Wednesday night at
Hampton, 48-33. Hampton will re
turn the game, Wednesday, Decem
! ber 13.
Saturday night at Porterdale the
Royal Crown team defeated the All
Stars, 24-19, in a good fast game.
The Royal Crown girls were defeat
ed by the Porterdale lassies, 27-20.
Monday night at Oxford Royal
Crown boys and girls teams defeat
ed Snellville Athletic teams. Th?
boys won in a one-sided affair, 55-
30; the girls winning, 25-13
this to the boy before you turn him
loose with a rifle.
j Did you know that Georgia has
1 variety of birds than any oth-
1 more
er* state east of the Mississippi
p^ ver o
Did you know that if you leave a
little cover around your fields and
a little food for them, the birds will
visit you and help you and that if
you do not, they will visit some one
in the near community who is more
thoughtful?
Did you know that there are
game birds this year than in years
. because of „ L better weather .
and because the farmers are plant
ing more grain and food that they
like each year?
Did you know that the state of
Georgia has a program under way
that is going to have more game and
fish in this grand old state if we
will only co-operate with the Wild
Life Division of Georgia?
